I guess a 2.7 million lawsuit was not enough to motivate wesley into improving
their situation...my mother suffered at their fate and ultimately died and this
is 8 years later. We will be seeking answers and are prepared for the long
haul. This monster is big but the bigger they are the harder they fall. I want
to spread the word, if you need to seek medical care "Don't go to
Wesley" If you have no other choice have someone stay with you 24/7 and
family and friends work in shifts. We witnessed so many mistakes but we were
afraid if we voiced our concerns too much we feared she might receive worse
care. I will make it my moral and ethical duty to warn friends ,family &
strangers of the horrors we witnessed so this substandard treatment whether it
be from nursing shortages or whatever excuse they create can be stopped...Speak
Up, check on different hospitals, ask if they have enough nurses on shift,
question medications being administered, etc...My mom's life may have been
different but we believe with the families support and love she would have made
a promising recovery. PASS IT ON!!!
